Washington is in a state of confusion about balloons and other unidentified flying objects, four of which have already been shot down. What is their purpose? Will there be more to deal with? Where are they all coming from and at who’s command? The general consensus around Washington, voiced by Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, […]
Editor’s Note – This piece by Valerie Richardson features quotes from CSP Director for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, Kyle Shideler. Dozens of pro-life pregnancy centers have been terrorized for months by a radical pro-choice outfit calling itself Jane’s Revenge, but now it looks as if the previously unknown group is entwined with a more significant threat: Antifa. […]
A federal grand jury indicted two Florida residents with alleged links to Antifa this week on charges of violating the FACE Act. According to a Justice Department press release, Caleb Freestone and Amber Smith-Stewart, both in their 20s, along with other unidentified co-conspirators, conspired to prevent access to “reproductive services health facilities.” Freestone and Smith-Stewart […]
Over the last few years, there has been much written about the destruction of American democracy. Frequently the threat has been of alleged interference in U.S. elections by Russia, China or other state actors. Government agencies, the name of election integrity, were assigned to identify and disrupt these foreign intrusions. As more and more information […]
Official Washington is consumed with Joe Biden’s serial mishandling of classified documents. His partisans insist that it’s not as bad as what Donald Trump did. His critics correctly say illegal stashing of top secret material in Joe’s garage, a file marked “Personal” and an office paid for by anonymous Chinese donors is, indeed, far more […]
Three months ago, I predicted that the countdown to Joe Biden’s resignation had begun. Today, it appears to be just days away. After all, Biden’s own administration now seems to be actively working to force his removal. Serial leaks concerning classified documents discovered in various insecure locations appear designed to make the President’s position untenable. […]
President Biden and his Mexican and Canadian counterparts have been dubbed the “Three Amigos.” We should call the scheme he announced on the eve of their meeting this week the “Three-Hundred-and-Sixty-Thousand Amigos.” That’s the number of aliens expected to be brought here this year from four deeply problematic countries through a gambit that is arguably […]
We take a lot of heat for what we do at the Center for Security Policy, but our eyewitness account of the violence at the U.S. Capitol two years ago provoked an especially intense response. The Center’s report concluded that a handful of agents-provocateurs executed the violence, which was planned and coordinated in advance, and exacerbated by […]
On New Year’s Eve Two New York Police officers were stabbed in an apparent terrorist attack. Their alleged assailant, 19-year-old Trevor Bickford, was identified as a recent convert to Islam.

Part One Part Two Pressure on other faculty The Confucius Institutes serve as outposts to spy or inform on American professors with China expertise who have no Institute affiliation. The intent is to […]
The kangaroo court known as the House January 6 Committee has finally brought its serial miscarriages of justice to an end, predictably, by referring criminal charges alleging former President Donald Trump “incited” an insurrection that day. But, there was no “insurrection.” The Committee’s highly selective investigation notwithstanding, Mr. Trump bore no responsibility for two factors […]
After over two years enduring life under Xi Jinping’s “zero-COVID” policy, a viral video of screaming residents in a burning apartment building in Urumqi, Xinjiang, and the ensuing outrage have been enough to ignite the pent up fury of the Chinese populace. According to many accounts, more than the officially reported casualty total of 10 […]
Our country’s Founders had a central preoccupation: prevent abusive government. They crafted a constitution with a system of checks and balances to guarantee God-given individual rights, prevent the concentration of federal power that would threaten them and repose authority in representatives closest, and, therefore accountable, to the people. The Biden administration is systematically wrecking this […]
Just in case you thought Covid wasn’t bad or dangerous enough, Boston University is working to increase its lethality. In its latest defense of gain of function research, the university claims it is not that dangerous. Oh, really? The work is summarized in the research paper: The recently identified, globally predominant SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (BA.1) is highly transmissible, even […]
Israeli discoveries of natural gas over the last 13 years are enough to allow not only self-sufficiency but also the potential for enough export to emerge as a geostrategic player in the hydrocarbons sector. If done properly and aggressively, Israel has the opportunity to establish itself as the main natural gas export hub in the […]
